Wind power is mostly due to solar energy. Earth's rotation contributes a very small amount and even that smaller effect is more located in the upper atmosphere

Wind power is mostly due to solar energy. Earth's rotation contributes a very small amount and even that smaller effect is more located in the upper atmosphere where we don't collect wind power versus solar caused pressure gradients
- rokkamokka 2y agoWhile true, if the earth stopped rotating the sun would also stop being "evenly" distributed around the globe, which would affect wind patterns a lot
